“There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts, before this, and after this...”--John Hobbes

Everything had changed, changed so drastically that attempting to put it into words was a challenge. This planet was brighter, louder, more overwhelming than anything the teen had ever experienced. Their language was different, their customs even more so. Each day he was learning that all he had known now seemed so meaningless. His people were gone, his home destroyed while watching helplessly. All that was left of Krypton were him and his cousins. One who had grown, no longer needing their guidance or protection and another who was being hidden among a human family just as he was.

Kaleb had been on Earth for a month. Learning to adjust, getting to know his new home, and family. Finally, Kaleb felt comfortable enough---ready enough--to see Kara. While to some it might seem selfish, the teen had wanted to wait until things weren’t as overwhelming for him, until he could gather his thoughts and he was sure his presence wouldn’t cause more harm than good for the girl who was attempting to live what was an average life on this planet. She had been here a few months longer than him. Kal--Clark-- had told him of her adoptive family, had tried to place him with them actually, and had explained the time Kara was having. He didn’t want to disrupt that.

Now, however, he was ready to see her. Cat had approved of Kal taking him to see the Danvers, see Kara, and allow them to spend time together. Cat understood what Kara meant to him, that she was his only family left. The Danvers had agreed to have him for the weekend. So here Kaleb was, safely tucked into the arms of who the world knew as Superman as they flew high above the ground to their destination. 

Kaleb took in the nice white home near the beach as Kal carefully lowered them to the ground. It seemed peaceful, seemed picture perfect of a family home for this planet. Kal might have just gotten Kara a home he was going to approve of. Once Kal’s feet touched the ground, the teen moved out of his arms and straighten out his shirt--another thing that was very different than from their home planet. He heard the lock of the front door retract as the handle was turned. He looked to Kal, “Nakluv....” He muttered softly in Kryptonian. Kal just looked at him, head tilted like a confused puppy. Kaleb internally scoffed. “Thanks,” The teen said this time in English.

“Oh! You’re welcome.” Kal told him with a goofy smile.

Kaleb turned his head toward the front door as it swung open and he took a step away from the superhero, eyes trained on the blonde dart headed his way. A small smile tugging at the corner of his lips, “Kara...”

Alice hissed as she tried to stand, but putting weight on her ankle was simply not possible right now, and she settled back down against the tree she’d been leaning against, this time slipping all the way back down to the ground. “Emma, what are you doing here?!” she asked, surprised to see the princess. She hadn’t run into anyone yet after escaping the tower; Emma was the first person she’d seen in days, the tower being so... out in the middle of nowhere. 

“I fell.” Alice shrugged. “Silly me, I had a... Well, I guess you could call him a friend help me out of the tower, but then I slipped down a ledge that way--” And she pointed over her shoulder to indicate the direction behind her “--and I think I hurt my ankle.” 

He knocked on the side of her door, which was already open, but didn’t go inside because he didn’t want to intrude.  “Hey, Abby,” he said with a smile, lifting a tray that was filled with all kinds of snacks he found in storage.  “You hungry?  I brought some stuff for us.”

It was kinda nice getting to spend time with her.  She was Jemma’s unofficial daughter, after all, and they did come from the same place.  Abby was probably just as confused about this new world as he was.

“What are you-what are you-? What. Was there something? On? My pants or…?” Or had she just touched his ass for no reason, and had managed to catch him completely off guard. It could be some kind of custom of her time he didn’t know yet, though.  

Okay, so that hadn’t been the reaction she was hoping for at all.  And now she felt a bit embarrassed that she reached out and touched –– no –– squeezed his left ass cheek.  Had she read his signals wrong?  They had been flirting with each other since pretty much the day they met –– hadn’t they?

Crap.

Audrey felt her face grow warm as she pulled her hand away quickly, dropping it down to her side.  “...No...nothing was on your pants.  I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that! I just thought....Never mind...I’m sorry!” she apologized, giving her head a little shake.

IF YOU’LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE THE BEGINNINGS OF A SMUT THREAD TO REPLY TO.

✎ = speaking in a different language @siinfvl​

What language is that?”

All he has heard in his life is English. After all, the only survivors in the Lighthouse right after the world blew up were Canadians and Americans.  

“Are you swearing? Can you teach me?”

          ❛ it's the language of elves, ❜          he says, face a mask of feigned seriousness, even though he just gave him the details of his breakfast in russian. ❛ and i have just placed a curse on you that will affect not only you but your possible offspring. ❜           his head tilts to the side, facade blank of any expression this time, eyes devoid of emotions. ❛ if you don't shut up. ❜       

Alice hated that she thought instantly of Emma not returning, but it was just that--with her papa having not been able to return--she’d been so alone for so long. And while she’d known the other woman couldn’t just stay in the tower with her forever (Alice wasn’t that selfish), she didn’t want to never see Emma again. Didn’t want to be left with nothing but these walls, and the silence, and her own thoughts to keep her company again... 

Emma’s words soothed her worries, though, the princess knight giving her the reassurances that Alice needed to hear in that moment. She missed her papa so much, and she worried about him almost daily; it had been months since she’d heard anything from him, and she hoped he was still surviving, still alright. If I ever get out of this tower, that’s the first thing I’m doing. I’m going to break this curse, she resolved to herself--and not for the first time, either. 

Nodding, Alice smiled as well as she felt reassured. “I’ll write. If you promise to come back, I promise to write.” The magic was lessening, the spells that kept her trapped, but Alice knew, they weren’t broken. She doubted they’d ever be, just on their own. The witch had made sure of it. “You’re a good knight, right? You’ve fought lots of monsters and you protect lots of people? If you find my papa, will you tell him I’m-- That I’m alright?”

“ i got you. it’s gonna be okay, you’re going to be okay.” 

            “It hurts so bad...”  Audrey’s body trembled as Deke put his arms around her.  She was on the floor of the living room and couldn’t quite remember how she ended up there.  As she tried to move, pain seared through her lower abdomen, and she hissed through her teeth.  It was then that she looked down and saw the blood soaking through her blue nightgown.  

           Things started coming back to her then...
